A helpful way to stay on top of your medications
Use our medication tracker to stay on top of your health.
If you take multiple medications, keeping track of them all can be a challenge. Our printable Medication Tracker is a helpful tool to bring to your next doctor’s appointment so you can review your prescriptions, understand what they treat, and stay organized.
This tracker helps you:
- List your diagnosed conditions
- Record your current medications, doses, and prescribing doctors
- Track allergies and pharmacy contact details
- Prepare questions for your care team about your prescriptions
It also includes tips for staying on schedule—like using a pillbox, setting reminders, and requesting refills early—so you don’t miss a dose.
Medication Tips.
Talk to your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist to understand what each medication is treating and why you are taking it.
Here are some questions you might ask:
- What is the name of the medication?
- Why am I taking it?
- When and how am I supposed to take it?
- How long am I supposed to take it?
- Should I avoid anything (food, driving, alcohol, other medications)?
- What are the side effects?
- What happens if I don’t take it or if I miss a dose?
Here are some tips to help you take your medications correctly—especially if you take several:
- Use a pill box to count out your medications a week in advance. It’s easier to see a missed dose.
- Use an alarm on your smart phone or watch to remind you when to take a dose.
- Use a daily planner to schedule your “medication appointments” to help you remember.
- Request refills of prescriptions a few days before you run out so you don’t miss any doses.
